Pat Boone plays a "bad" boy sent to a farm for rehab in this pleasant but wholesome musical, in which the title song was Oscar nominated and very popular at the time. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Creative Loafing 05/14/2015

04/29/2019 The best movie song ever sung: the title song! See more 01/20/2018 Breezy musical remake of Home in Indiana (1944), with Pat Boone & Shirley Jones making a wholesome movie couple; the title song was nominated for an Oscar. See more 10/21/2015 They just don't make movies like this any more. From a more innocent time. See more 07/03/2011 Nice film, but very dated. See more 06/22/2011 Shallow and didn't teach the best lessons, but I did enjoy some of the music. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 05/23/2011 April Love is a clean cut and fun film. It is about a young man visiting his relatives' farm in Kentucky who falls in love with their neighbor. The music is terrific to listen to. Pat Boone and Shirley Jones give excellent performances. The screenplay is well written. Henry Levin did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed this motion picture because of the drama and comedy. April Love is a must see. See more Read all reviews
